Assassin's Creed: Unity is an upcoming 2014 sandbox action adventure game, and a sequel to 2013's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Unity follows the story of an Assassin named Arno Dorian during the French Revolution. The game will be exclusive to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It is set to be released on 28 October 2014.

Location and Navigation:

As the game is exclusive to next-generation consoles and PC, it will enable renderings of Paris to 1:1 scale and crowds numbering in the thousands. Players will able to explore the city's entirety, including seamless interiors and the catacombs, with landmarks like Notre-Dame having a quarter of the building's interior playable. Even empty buildings may have unlockable rooms with treasures inside. Map icons or 'eyeground icons' will be visible when standing on rooftops after using viewpoints.

Haystacks have been largely removed in favor of allowing players to control their descent from rooftops, and the controls for freerunning up and down are now separate. Social Stealth has been improved upon with a special crouching mode activated by button, and combat has been made more tactical to feel more realistic: counter kills are now gone.

Memories and Customization:

For memories, instead of the player being given a series of objectives, Ubisoft have developed the Adaptive Mission Mechanic, which gives players several potential paths to complete a mission. For example, choosing to stalk a target will lead to a chase if they detect you, as opposed to causing desynchronization.

The Assassins' weapons and appearance are customizable, while experience gained can be spent on combat, navigation or stealth abilities. Arno possesses Eagle Pulse, which allows him to sense how many guards are in a location he intends to infiltrate. Like other skills, it can be upgraded with experience points at the player's discretion.

4 official videos that show Assassin's Creed: Unity have so far been presented to us; a sneak peek trailer, a cinematic trailer showing the storming of the Bastille, a singleplayer demo, and a co-op demo. There was also a character introduction video but that wasn't necessarily gameplay. Here are the videos in order as said:

Co-operative gameplay starts at taverns, where the player can see a "ghost" of a friend who is also playing sitting there. Approaching a ghost can establish a request to join the friend on their mission, and both will loaded to the mission's nearest checkpoint. Amancio expects players will spend a third of their time in co-op mode.

Making Assassin's Creed: Unity co-op was a huge move for the franchise. This marks Unity as the first game of the series to do so, changing from the regular Wolfpack mode in previous titles.

Alex Amancio said this about cooperative play:
"Assassins do not only embark on their own quests (like Ezio avenging his family), they have to pay their dues to the Assassin council. So players will have to complete what we call Brotherhood missions, in shared experience, to fulfill their duties towards the Assassins."
